Now, tell me, where you going to land a plane without worrying about a volcano?
NOTE: Java has 44 major volcanoes, 20 of which have been active in modern times. Imagine Alabama or Mississippi with 44 major volcanic peaks. Fly a plane through there in your mind's eye. In the dark. When it's rainy.
ok, I am duly impressed with your knowledge of Indonesia.
However, I thought this plane took off from Russia?
